Oahu - day 3
Today we will try something VERY different. Picture yourself seated next to a window in an airplane flying 14,000 feet over Oahu’s North Shore. The view is magnificent, but right now you’re a little distracted. The thought of jumping out of a plane is enough to sidetrack anyone — but that’s just what you’re about to do. You’re not going to jump solo, of course. You signed up for a tandem dive, and your instructor will be right there with you. You’ve been properly trained before boarding the plane, and your instructor has jumped hundreds of times, but the riskiness of it is still enough to leave your heart pumping.

Lady Dolly and King Mike are skilled at this sport and will jump in tandem, not with an instructor. Watch how it’s done. There is a picture of their jump on my page. Check out those two crazy kits.

You and your instructor, who is attached to you like a Siamese twin, shuffle to the edge of the hatch. It’s now or never, so out you go. Words cannot describe the sensation of jumping out of an airplane at 8,000 to 14,000 feet. How do you explain fear for a mere moment, soon to be replaced by exhilaration that cannot be compared to anything you’ve ever done?

The “drop” is over. Now you’re floating, enjoying the view. If you’re game, the instructor will perform some twirls and stalls, and even let you “fly” the parachute by yourself. Suddenly, you notice the ground is coming up sooner than you’d planned. The instructor pulls up at precisely the right moment and settles you gently on the ground for a perfect landing.

You can expect the adrenalin rush to last for a while. After all, you just jumped out of an airplane.

Time to watch someone else risking their neck. We attend a polo match on the beach at Mokule‘ia and see a historic game that has been played in Hawai‘i for more than a century. Considered one of the fastest, roughest and most dangerous sports played today, polo was brought to Hawai‘i in the 1880s. The polo field at Mokule‘ia is the only one in the world that is located on a beach. Here we have a tailgate picnic, play ball and fly kites on the field during halftime while watching a skydive performance. Live music takes the stage when the match has ended.

Oahu - day 2
Pearl Harbor, Honolulu … This memorial is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives on a fateful day which launched the US into World War II when the Japanese military attacked on December 7, 1941.

Wikipedia tells us Pearl Harbor is a lagoon harbor on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, west of Honolulu. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the United States Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941 brought the United States into World War II. On December 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared war on Japan. In return, December 11, 1941, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States.

The USS Arizona Memorial is the most recognized icon of World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, a unit of the National Park Service. Access is gained through the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Upon entering the visitor center, we head to the NPS Tickets & Information desk where we obtain free tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial program. While waiting for the tour to begin, we rent an audio tour headset, and explore the bookstore and exhibit galleries.

We watch a 75-minute program in one of two theaters. It includes a brief introduction to set the tone for the visit and a 23-minute documentary film which includes actual footage of the attack. After the film, we climb aboard a Navy-operated shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial. Note: There are no public restroom facilities on the Memorial so we make quick stops before boarding our shuttle.

The Memorial spans the USS Arizona, a sunken WWII battleship which is the final resting place for most of her 1,177 Sailors and Marines killed in the December 7th attack. In the shrine room, we find a marble wall with the names of all of these men. In addition, we see a smaller marble wall, which lists the names of USS Arizona Survivors who, since passing away, have returned to their shipmates by having their ashes interred inside the fourth gun turret by Navy and NPS divers.

It is important to realize this is not a tourist attraction, but a memorial and grave that deserves to be treated with respect and reverence. This is a place of learning, reflection, and quiet contemplation.

Following our Pearl Harbor visit, we dine at a Five Diamond Hawaii Regional Cuisine restaurant, enjoying wonderful fish and local produce. The pineapple here is so very sweet. Tomorrow, we must head for the Dole Plantation.

See two pics relating to Pearl Harbor at the bottom of my page.

A Word With Whiskers – May 20
Top Reasons To Keep Cats Indoors – Part 1 (from cats.about.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Many cat lovers are now savvy that indoor cats are safer cats, while others still think that cats deserve freedom to run in the great outdoors. When humans domesticated cats, we took on the responsibility for their health & welfare. Part of that responsibility is to keep cats safe & in good health. For those holdouts for letting cats roam free, consider these top reasons to keep cats indoors.

• To Monitor Your Cat’s Urinary Tract/Bowel Health. With an outdoor cat, pet owners are unable to monitor painful attempts to urinate or poop. The first, a red flag warning for UTI or urinary tract blockage; the second, a red flag for constipation, bowel blockage or mega-colon.

• Indoor Cats Are Safe From Predators & Dog Packs. Outdoor cats are below predators in the food chain, & they are sitting ducks for owls, raptors, coyotes, & native big cats. Dogs running in packs will consider a cat fair game; even one large dog can easily overpower & kill a cat. Remember that some dogs are also bred to attack; they are not really to blame when their instinct takes over. Even with a full set of fangs & claws, the cat rarely has a chance when caught outside.

• Indoor Cats Don't Create Neighbor Problems. Even "well-bred" cats will venture into neighbors' yards when allowed to roam free. People who don't like cats will not tolerate cats using their gardens as litter boxes, & will sometimes resort to extreme measures to keep the cats out.

• Indoor Cats Rarely Get Abscesses From Fighting. Cats are very territorial & will defend their territory to the death, if challenged by another cat. At the very least, these territorial battles often result in abscessed wounds, which can be deadly if not treated in time. There's also the chance, of course, of cats contracting FIV from deep bite wounds.

• Indoor Cats Are Safe From Human Abuse. Freely-roaming cats are easy targets for gangs of youths with time on their hands, for cat-haters, who seek cats out for target practice, & for neighbors who would think nothing of killing a cat for trespassing on their property. Although animal protection laws are beefing up, prosecution will never bring a loved cat back to life.

• Indoor Cats Can Get Plenty of Exercise. Cats do get exercise, but they can get it safely with interactive toys, climbing towers, scratching posts, & other indoor toys; all much safer than running from dogs or fighting with other cats. Remember also that there are safe compromises for the outdoor experience.

Oahu ...
Lovely Hawaiian ladies place leis on our necks as we disembark in Honolulu. These are a special gift of aloha - welcome, and love. The ladies receive those made of white ginger or jasmine … our choice. I love jasmine; my choice is simple. Oh, the beautiful fragrance. No wonder everyone wants one of these when in Hawaii. For the men, there are leis of kukui nuts. With our shirts and dresses from Hilo Hatties, we are ready to explore the final island of our Hawaiian adventure.

Here, Hawaii’s timeless beauty blends with the modern luxuries of today. We can swim in the warm waters of world-famous Waikiki one moment, then enjoy the dramatic mountain views of the Nuuanu Pali Lookout another; watch the surfers on the legendary North Shore by day, then dance the night away in vibrant nightlife spots around Honolulu; get a taste of local flavors in Kapahulu one night, then dine at a Five Diamond Hawaii Regional Cuisine restaurant the next.

Our first visit is to 350 acre Diamond Head crater, one of the best-known volcanic craters in the world, whose vantage point offers some incredible panoramas of Honolulu. We choose to start early to avoid the heat of the sun. Diamond Head State Monument encompasses over 475 acres, including the interior and outer slopes of the crater. This broad, saucer-shaped crater was formed about 300,000 years ago during a single, explosive eruption that sent ash and fine particles in the air. As these materials settled, they cemented together into a rock called tuff. The panoramic views of Waikiki and Oahu's south shore from the top are impressive. We will have many gorgeous photos for our memory books. We learn the crater was named Diamond Head by 19th century British sailors who thought they discovered diamonds on the crater's slopes. These "diamonds" were actually shiny calcite crystals that had no value. The volcanic crater, a major Oahu landmark, has been extinct for 150,000 years.

Next we travel to Iolani Palace, the only royal palace in the US. It was the official residence of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani, the last king and queen to rule Hawaii; the monarchy was abolished in 1893. We take the guided tour, which leaves us thinking our own Castle on CC is just as impressive and much more inviting to fun-loving kitties.

Time for an island luau dinner and then to bed as tomorrow we head to Pearl Harbor. See pics of Diamond Head and the palace on my page.

Please vote Rosie #252822 for COTD on Monday, 5/20
Recently a cat loving family had their red female cat, Angel Rhuby cross over the Rainbow Bridge. The cat mom of this family decided she would like to adopt another red female and as luck would have it, there was Rosie at the Petsmart Adoption Center. Rosie #252822 and her new mom bonded instantly and Rosie came to her new home that day. Rosie was at the shelter for over two months and was a bit wild. She didn't like being kept in a cage and would fight with the shelter workers when they tried to put her back in her cage. This was a big reason why Rosie #252822 wasn't adopted sooner; she was scared and the people looking at her were not patient with her until her new mom came along. Now at her new home Rosie #252822 is a cuddle cat with her daddy and loves to play with her brother Yogi. She gets along with the rest of her furry siblings and is a happy cat. Rosie #252822 will not eat dry food but she will eat any kind of wet food. She doesn't like dry treats either! Rosie loves to play with her furry mouse and the laser light. Rosie #252822 is happily spoiled now in her new home and we are very happy she has found a wonderful loving home. Rosie would be so honored to have a COTD badge to display on her page. Please visit Rosie #252822 on Monday, 5/20, and leave a vote for her so she can proudly have her own shiny COTD badge.

While making the rounds of visits on the CC, please go visit our May catpaigner for COTM, Whiskers #227256, and give his votey button a good whack so he can add your vote to his collection to become our King of June. Also, please visit our Queen of May, Queen Spunky #161265, and let her know we are all thinking of her and her family.

This is Sienna and family along with Linguini and family leaving each of you a big bouquet of May wildflowers along with some homegrown catnip to munch on instead of the flowers. Thank you for supporting our COTD candidates. Wishing you all peace and love and purrs

Molokai
Serene seascapes, unspoiled coastlines, untamed wilderness. We visit Molokai & travel back to a timeless place. This is an island that stays true to its Hawaiian traditions - tucked away from the hustle of the outside world; where no building is taller than a coconut tree; there’s no traffic & no traffic lights; where you can feel the power of Hawaiian culture from an area near Maunaloa, said to be the birthplace of hula, to the natural wonders of Halawa Valley.

Molokai is only 38 miles long and 10 miles across at its widest point. It is a friendly & family-oriented island that has deep connections with its Hawaiian ancestors. Unlike the visitor industry on the larger Hawaiian Islands, Molokai has preserved its true Hawaiian culture. More than one third of this island's residents have over 50% Hawaiian blood. Molokai residents farm, fish, hunt & gather many of their basic needs & they enjoy this lifestyle. Here we need to slow down, be less demanding, & respect the Molokai way of life. Molokai is the real deal. We are visiting the true Hawaii. We will enjoy & respect Molokai & her people.

Lining the northeast coast are the towering cliffs of the North Shore Pali. At 3,600 to 3,900 feet from sea base to top, they are the tallest sea cliffs in the world; their near-vertical plunge ends 2000 feet below sea level. We step cautiously to the edge to peek over. Whoa, that’s a drop! Later in the day, we do some ocean kayaking along the face of the cliffs; this is amazing beyond belief! We also discover secret, secluded beaches, sea birds, & cascading waterfalls which provide incredible, photogenic scenery

We then hike into the East End’s classic cathedral valley to see Hawaii back in time. It is believed ancient Polynesians settled in lush Halawa Valley as early as 650 AD. This area, half a mile wide and three to four miles deep, and blessed with beautiful vistas and towering waterfalls, is one of the island's most historic areas. Roughly two miles up the trail is the impressive, double-tiered 250-foot Moa’ula Falls. If you’re considering taking a dip into the pool, drop a ti leaf into the water first. Hawaiian legend says that a giant moo (lizard) lives at the bottom of the pool. If the ti leaf sinks, the moo is in no mood for visitors. If the ti leaf floats, it’s safe to enter. Our ti leaves are forming a veritable flotilla, and we slip gratefully into the refreshing pool. Soon we are splashing and playing like … well, kitties.

We have been invited to a luau by the residents of a small village near Maunaloa, birthplace of the hulu. After dining on succulent roast pig, and all the tasty side dishes, we are given grass skirts to put on for a hula lesson. Soon we are dancing and telling the stories of the island, looking almost like natives.

Tomorrow we will head for the island of Oahu, where our Hawaiian adventure will eventually finish.

Hello Ollie
Thank you for your kind words, prayers & sweet thoughts. Like many of you, Mommy knows all too well about kidney disease. Her Dot passed away at the age of 17 from kidney disease & hyperthyroidism in October 2000. Mommy had hoped it would be a very long time before she was faced with this awful disease again. She will do her very best to give me the greatest care possible & lots of TLC.

I am eating the k/d canned and dry foods pretty well so far. Mommy says it is extremely difficult having one baby on a special diet. But we are doing our best with this situation & taking it one day at a time.

Thanks again for your prayers & concern. We really do appreciate it. Job 12:10 says “In God’s hands is the life of every creature.” We believe this to be true.

Love,
Q MerryBelle & Mommy Angela

P.S. Good luck to Mom Nancy with the kitties & her yardwork. The landscaper came to our house last week & is drawing up the plans for our backyard now.

Hello Ollie
How are you? Yesterday I visited Dr. William for my annual checkup, blood work (CBC, 6-panel, T3 & T4), shots and 3-month Schirmer eye test. First the good news – my eyes are doing well.

Mommy’s intuition told her something was going on with me, so now the not-so-good mews. I am in the very early stages of kidney disease:
My BUN level = 38 (normal is 16-36)
My Creatinine = 2.6 (normal is .8-2.4)

Dr. William says we caught this early. For now, we are going to treat it by changing my diet to Prescription Diet k/d. So far, I am eating both the k/d canned and the k/d dry food. We will recheck my levels in 3 months.

I also have a UTI, so I am taking Clavamox, the wonder drug. My thyroid level (T4) is in the “grey area” so Dr. William sent some of my blood to Texas A&M so they can run a test called T4 by Equilibrium Dialysis. We should receive those results next week.

As you can imagine, Mommy is very upset, stressed, & worried about me. Please keep us in your prayers.
Hugs,
Q MerryBelle

A Cat's Diary -
================================
Day 84 of my captivity…

My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded. Maybe I should try this at the top of the stairs.

In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. I must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little kitty cat I was. This is not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing something called ' allergies.' Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit.

The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He speaks with them regularly, and I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait.

It's only a matter of time. =^.^=

PLEASE VOTE KAYLIN #251700 for COTD MAY 6th
Please paw by & meet this beautiful Champagne Point Tonkinese kitty. KAYLIN #251700 is not just a beautiful face she is also a CFA Champion & a Mom. She was hand picked for her new parents by her sister Wendy's breeder when she found out how sick Wendy was. But this sweet girl was already a mom so her new parents had to wait to bring her home. All of her kitties found their furever homes & then she had her Big Girl surgery. She was finally able to come to her new home in January. She wasn't sure if she wanted to stay at first, but her new parents gave her lots of love & support so we are happy to report she is settling in quite nicely. KAYLIN #215700 spends her days hanging out on Mom & Dads laps, playing with her toys, & napping in the sun. She also likes to tear through the apartment at top speed and has been known to do it in the middle of the night too. Her most favorite things to eat are the Roast Chicken, that she shares with her parents, and her Blue food. She Loves to make new friends so won't you please stop and give KAYLIN #251700 your vote and make a new friend.

We give our Heartfelt Thanks To Queen Trixie #172636 who brought us a magnificent two months of wonderful animal stories, fun and zoo adventures as our April Queen. We congratulate Queen Spunky #161265 and invite you to visit her at the castle during the month of May. Please paw by daily and give your support to Whiskers #227256 on his quest to become our June COTM.

Thank you for your continued support of the CMR Special Recognition Campaigns and our outstanding candidates! These campaigns are chosen for families who are trying to help other CC members by visiting and voting. In appreciation, we are leaving you a Tuna Muffin with Catnip sprinkles.

♥ On Thursday morning, dad held each of us inside kitties while mom gave us our pawdicures then mom put Frontline Plus for Dogs on us. Afterwards, we got Greenie treats! I was a little hissy, but mom said I did pretty good considering I'm still having pain in my front legs. Mom was trying to be very gentle as not to pull or hold my front legs tight.

♥ Mom did open dad's bedroom window this morning so we could go out in the cattery. Rhoamin was the only one wanting out at the time! Mom then had to leave cuz she had several errands to get done plus while she was at Sears, she had a coupon for an oil change so she got dad's truck done. Dad was surprised when mom got home to let him know!

♥ Yippee! The mailman delivered a package this afternoon from EntirelyPets.com which is my Dasuquin pills for my Degenerative Arthritis Disease. Actually, there were three packages which two was for dad from the VA as dad had to order a new mask for his C-PAP! So, mom had to call Dr. Liz to see how many Dasuquin mom's suppose to give me. I'm suppose to get two capsules a day. Mom waited for me to wake up and I came to her. She gave me both my pills then I ate! Now it's just time to see if they work for me!

♥ Mom changed my profile photo to a new one this afternoon!

A Word With Whiskers – May 02
Whisker’s Furever Home – by Mom Mandy
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
I had always been a dog person, having had 2 big boys, an Airedale-Terrier mix and the other a Pointer. Both were rescue dogs and they were the loves of my life for 12 years. When they crossed the Rainbow Bridge within one year of each other, I thought my world had ended.

I would come home from work and sit in the backyard staring at the empty doghouse. With 2 big dogs, a cat in our yard was a rare sighting. One evening I noticed a black & white tuxedo cat staring at me from afar. When I tried to approach her she would hiss and run away. I started leaving food out for her and the next day the bowl was always empty.

My spiral into depression continued. I missed my dogs so much. My husband decided to take me away on a trip to Hawaii. Two weeks later a surprise awaited us on our return home.

Our empty doghouse had been used by the black & white tuxedo cat to give birth to her 5 feral kittens. I didn't know what a feral cat was, but I learned quickly. We left food for the cats and tried to catch a glimpse whenever possible, but the mother was guarded and we respected that.

One morning when I was leaving food out I noticed the mother was gone. 5 small kittens were left crying and hissing as if calling out for their mother. I thought they were adorable, but my friends said beware of feral cats for fear of disease or physical attacks. I got on the internet, learned about Trap-Neuter-Release techniques, and set out on a mission to save these babies.

It took several days, but I did manage to get all 5 of the kitties fixed. I released them back into our neighborhood, prayed and waited.

They came back one by one, as I always put food out, morning and night. I had names for them all - Howlie, Patches, Whitey, Callie and Whiskers. One day I noticed Howlie was gone. I checked the local animal shelters, but Howlie never came back. Soon after Patches was gone too.

I decided to put up a cat fence around my yard and try to trap the remaining 3 kitties in my yard. What an adventure that was! Callie came willingly. Whiskers came back next, but he was injured. We fixed him up and he has never left since. Sadly, Whitey is still outside, but she comes home to eat every day. I pray every night that one day Whitey will come inside and be with the family that loves her.

Hi Ollie & Family
Day 30
Thank you for stopping by and pushing my votey button. You are the best furriends ever. I can’t believe we are already at the end of the month. I hope you enjoyed my catpaign. Here are my furriends and their rankings. I saw Gromit get her giant rosette at the Del Mar show. I am currently ranked at 38 but I don’t go to many shows and I need to place in those shows. These kitties go to most of the shows and always place. They are use to being in the shows, some have been going for years. Go to cfaswhhp.org, Past HHP winners, 2011-2012 to see their pictures. They are so pretty. Some were found on the streets, some were rescued at local shelters or rescue groups. Gromit was found in a back yard She is the oldest kitty showing.

Tenth Best Household Pet LANCELOT Silver Classic Tabby & White Neuter Owners: Francene McKelvey
Some of these kitties were found in the yard of their pawrents or a furriend of their pawrents. Some were from rescues, One was a street kitty that has the scars from street life. Any kitty can be a star. You can be a star. Give it a try, you just might like being in a cat show.
Thank you for allowing me to be your COTM candidate for April. It has been so much fun. You can find the rankings of all the kitties that have placed in a ring, how many rings and where they stand now. Just go to the CFA website in your area or just look at the CFA website in my area.
Have a catriffic day. Enjoy lots of mom and dad time.

Hello Ollie and family!
Louie and I thank everyone for voting him COTD today. Trust me, it was a surprise! Spending time with his memory yesterday meant quite a few sad moments, yet through the tears my funny little guy still found ways to make me smile. Even though Louie has always been an angel on CC, he has made friends, and many of you have taken him into your own hearts - which only proves, he really was irresistible! Thank you for being Louie's friends.

Vote COTD 4/29 COLT, WINCHESTER & KIMBER #251320
This week’s special recognition candidates were found on the side of a road near a wooded area when they were barely old enough to fend for themselves. Their guardian angel was working hard that day & led their new mom to the right spot where she picked up the three mewing furballs & took them home. These precious sibs have stolen the hearts of many CC members by mom’s picture postings on FB & it’s pawsome being able to watch them grow up here in our loving community. Colt and Winchester love to talk to calm Kimber down because she’s very shy, unlike her more outgoing sibs. They love to play with their mouse toys & frequently pick on their bigger sibs throughout the day to see how much they can get away with. You can often find this rambunctious trio of young felines looking out of the window talking to birds, or playing with their light up ball. They’re snugglers too! They’re often found in the lap of mom or grandpa or you can see them snuggling happily together in their kitty bed. The inseparable trio of COLT,WINCHESTER & KIMBER#251320, are also keeping the house hopping with their energy level so let’s help them bounce off the walls a little more by pouncing by to paw them a COTD vote today, Monday April 29th, so they can earn their very first badge of honor tomorrow!

Only two days left for SPUNKY #161265 out on the COTM catpaign trail so please pounce by to paw your votes of support to this beautiful show girl so she can twist through the community next month wearing the crown of May as our Emerald Queen!

While you’re pouncing around please remember to leap through the northern Indiana woods to visit our current COTM Queen Trixie #172636 aka the Calico Cyclone, & thank her for the animal tales she spun for us before she turns over the royal reins to future Queen Spunky aka the White Tornado.

This is Zaboo/NICE Crew, Sabrina, Duchess & family leaving you a triple berry muffin as our way of thanking you for your support of our fine candidates. Have a pawsome week everyone!

Thank you for pushing my votey button. I appreciate you stopping by my page and all your support.
As you can tell, CFA is judges choice in finals for household pets and in TICA the household pets are judged by the same rules as purebreds.
I would be judged by color, markings, my fur. HMMM

All or part of the tail missing except when board approved breed, having more or less than five toes on each front foot and four on each back foot unless proved to be a results of injury or as authorized by board approved standard. Polydactyls in any breed authorized approved standard shall be limited to no more than 7 toes on any foot. Undershot or overshot jaws or any malocclusion of the jaws, visible or invisible tail faults are disqualification at the discretion of the judge or as required by the board approved standard. Total blindness, inability to bear or support weight or walk normally, abnormal positioning of legs, feet while standing examples bowed or cow-hocked legs, splaying of the feet, or obvious toeing in or out of the feet.

You always have such nice profile pics,but I think this one is by far,the very best!! Just stopping in to say 'HOWDY' and leave you a silly summer poem! May be a bit early but here goes...

ANTS!

It's a never ending battle,
This war with the ant's.

If you sit on the grass,
They will get in your pants.

But the place they like better,
Than being in your clothes;

Is biting you HARD-
Right between your toes!

♥ K. FIDEL 14733; TONANTZIN 14732 & CHE 14734 as their sweet momma SARA CAZARES went to her Forever Sleep yesterday (4/20/2013) morning from complications follwing a stroke she had last year. Sara was a very active momma with her husband, 2 sons, 3 fur kits & 1 doggie as well with the schools and politics. She was still a young woman at age 48. She also used to be very active on CC. Many of us old CC timers were close to Sara and her kitties.
We are so sad to learn of her Forever Sleep and she will be deeply missed!!!!
Please keep this family in your prayers.

HI Ollie & Bouie
Day 20
Thank you for all your support and stopping by and pressing my votey button. You are all so very special and it means so much to me that you stop by.
So have any of you looked for a show close to where you live yet? Are you going to send your mom or dad first to the show? Remember they can get all the information on how to show you at the shows website, or the flyer. You might even get showed without you knowing until it’s to late. Mom never tells me it’s almost time for a show. I figure it out by our outings to the stores then having my nails done and my bath. Mom you can’t fool me, I know. I just don’t know how far we have to travel.
Ok, now it’s time for all of us to find out about the TICA(The International Cat Association). Mom has the booklet with the show rules. I wonder if I will go to a TICA show.
All TICA shows are in Arcadia, Ca at least 2 ½ hour drive. SIGH I guess I am getting real good at traveling.
A kitten by definition is a feline under 8 calendar months of age. A Cat is a feline not less than 8 calendar months of age. Benched cats are cats, kittens, alters, and household pets present and qualified for an entire show. Registered cat a pedigree that has been filed with an Executive Office and assigned a registered number. A Recognized Breed is any recognized breeds of felines listed in the rules.
Wow this booklet is big. I’ll get you the information during the last 10 days of my catpaign and if we need more time during my reign.
Have a catriffic day. Enjoy mom and dad time
Kitty kisses, hugs and purrs
